Can we build moral machines?Artificial intelligence is an essential part of our lives – for better or worse. It can be used to influence what we buy, who gets shortlisted for a job and even how we vote. Without AI, medical technology wouldn't have come so far, we'd still be getting lost in our GPS-free cars, and smartphones wouldn't be so, well, smart. But as we continue to build more intelligent and autonomous machines, what impact will this have on humanity and t...

AI expert Toby Walsh predicts the state of work, war, politics, economics, everyday life and death in the not-too-distant future, when we will live with machines as intelligent as us.By 2062 we will have built machines as intelligent as us - so the leading artificial intelligence and robotics experts predict. But what will this future look like?In 2062, world-leading researcher Toby Walsh considers the impac...

'Kunnen machines denken?' vroeg Alan Turing zich af in de jaren veertig van de vorige eeuw. Sindsdien heeft ai zich ontwikkeld van een speculatief idee tot een transformerende kracht. De kortste geschiedenis van ai volgt deze ontwikkeling – van het visionaire werk van Ada Lovelace tot de baanbrekende overwinning van schaakcomputer Deep Blue op wereldkampioen Garry Kasparov en de revolutionaire opkomst van Chatgpt. Het verkent ook de culturele oorsprong van ai: van Frankenstein en The Hitch...

Hogyan jutunk el a mechanikus komputerektől a ma ismert technológiákig? Hogyan jelenik meg a mesterséges intelligencia a popkultúrában? Hogyan működtek és mire szolgáltak az első robotok? Mi köze a mitológiai lényeknek a ChatGPT-hez? Toby Walsh műve tudományos alapokon nyugvó ismeretterjesztő könyv, amely közérthetően, szórakoztatóan mutatja be a világot lázban tartó mesterséges intelligencia történetét.

The development of thinking machines is an adventure as bold and ambitious as any that humans have attempted. And the truth is that Artificial Intelligence is already an indispensable part of our daily lives. Without it, Google wouldn't have answers and your smartphone would just be a phone. But how will AI change society by 2050? Will it destroy jobs? Or even pose an existential threat? Android Dreams is a lively exploration of how AI will transform our societies, economies and selves. Fr...

Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We’ve been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question ‘Can machines think?’ by proposing that machines pretend to be humans. Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the...
